Review Maggiano's Little Italy - Wauwatosa

Danielle Howard
Food was good and the $5 take homes in 1st 2 pictures were generous portion size. Salmon was very good. The black Carmel skinned "fishing" waitress with crew cut (sorry, i forgot your name) was really great... atmosphere ...ambience relaxing, seats comfortable and clean. I like the white male host smiled and said goodbye when we left. It's stuff like that that makes you wanna come back.

I took my girlfriend for a Mother's Day dinner here. It was going to be our first time experiencing what we have always heard as a great authentic tasting Italian spot. And to be honest, the whole thing was not a disaster. The service was A+, the appetizer, 3 small stuffed mushrooms, was good. However, when we got our entrées it was another story. The noodles are freshly made, but it was obvious that the sauce was canned and over salted. Even the chicken on my Chicken Alfredo tasted canned. We simply didn't want to finish our meals they had prepared and the manager never made an attempt to speak with us after our server told them the disappointments we experienced. We left feeling unappreciated and hungry.

We dined here twice on our trip here in Wauwatosa. Once by ourselves and once with family. The spaghetti and meatballs is so good that we ordered it both times. The Fettuccine Alfredo and Rigatoni Arrabbiata are pretty good. Not as good as actual homemade Italian food, but it's as good as you can get for that price in a restaurant. The chicken in the chopped salad was very dry, but the restaurant did not charge us for it after hearing about the complaint. The service was good overall.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. For starters, our waitress Krisry was phenomenal! She not only was incredibly friendly, but she didn't hover too long, and when it came time to making rounds to check on her tables, she came around, what seemed like, the perfect amount, in my opinion. Very professional and welcoming. Now for the atmosphere, the Italian feel was absolutely wonderful, definitely a, higher end place to go. So, definitely dress nice. The music choice was excelent with the Frank Senatra era music. Definitely a classy touch. Now down to what really matters, the food. If you are looking for a wonderful Italian dinner, this place is a must go to! However I'd recommend calling ahead a couple of hours, you'll need it for a reservation. As for the food, from our starter, the Spinache and Artichoke dip with bread was by far the best I've ever had. Then the Chicken Alfredo, I had ordered as well as the Ziti my lady had ordered, both were incredibly delicious. As for the dessert, the Apple Cabinara was like a better tasting apple pie, served with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Wow, what a combination! Over all, pricing, food, and atmosphere, I'd give this a 10/10 and a VERY strong recommendation to come check it out!

Love the Italian atmosphere. Great sampler appetizer plate. Bread for dipping was warm and soft. Good olive oil for dipping. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Cute little Italian resteraunt! The food was good, I brought home leftovers! I wasn’t a huge fan of the bread and oil.
Lindsay Brieske
Strongly recommend. Food was excellent, service was good, and the atmosphere was cool. I ordered the lobster carbonara and I loved it. We will be back!

They changed the menu, happily, so that instead of having to eat only certain selections in order to get a take home meal, they sell the latter for just 5 bucks when you get anything on the menu. Fabulous deal We come here quite often and have never been disappointed in any meal. Nice atmosphere and really prompt service. Enjoy the free bread and authentic Italian dishes. Highly recommended

Amazing. We had just sat down to dinner here for our first anniversary and the power went out. The wait staff all remained calm and professional. Our waitress continued to bring us bread and water while we waited. Eventually it was deemed that the power wasn't coming back on, and most of the customers left at once. The staff allowed us to sit there in the candlelight and finish bread, and our waitress even brought out soup and appetizers (and even entrees to take home!) that had already been prepared for other guests who had left. They even handed out gift cards to customers to return. I can't say enough about the fantastic way the staff handled an unfortunate situation out of their control-Jeff and Jennifer in particular. We will definitely be returning.

It was very enjoyable. The ambiance had a way of calming even my Granddaughter. I know that she enjoyed her pizza from the Children's menu. For myself, the dish that I was treated to was wonderful. The staff members were great as well.

Um really?? What's not to love? There were so many shrimp in the shrimp scampi I couldn't even eat them all. Then the flourless chocolate cake. OMGeee!!!! It was sooooo goooood! And because it was my first time there, the chef prepared a special tasting of deep fried zucchini with a lemon aoili sauce, and brought it to our table. I felt special. It was delicious. And our waiter, he was so adorable. And very attentive.

The food is amazing but we were never offered refills on drinks even tho we asked, we had to asked twice for items we should have gotten with little meal, I asked for another drink and never got it, our appetizer and main entrees came at the same time......waitress bad, food great. Best mushroom ravioli in town!

My second time at a Maggiano’s (first was in Virginia) and I absolutely loved it! My family and I were celebrating my birthday last night and I received an adorable card from them and some lemon cookie type things for my desert. Our server was absolutely incredible she was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable and welcome, like we had known her our whole lives. Obviously a little pricey but I could care less about price when I receive amazing food and amazing service. Can’t wait to go again! �

Don’t let the attempt at classy decor fool you. It’s an over priced Olive Garden. Slow service, poor drinks, their chopped salad is terrible. I sent my main dish back because I couldn’t even eat it. Tasted like it had been dead in the window for way too long. It was a salty pile of mush. Didn’t want another dish because I didn’t have another hour to wait. If you’re in the mood for Italian, you’d be better off with Stouffer’s.

Excellent service and outstanding chicken and spinach manicotti. The food was amazing. Had the biggest piece of chocolate marshmallow torte. Love Maggiano’s!!!!

I’m afraid I must agree with a previous poster. This really IS only a slightly more tricked out version of Olive Garden. I suppose I shouldn’t set my expectations too awfully high over chain restaurants located in the parking lots of shopping malls however. Overflowing with people who might consider this fine-dining, yet STILL show up in pajama bottoms and baseball caps (I STILL can’t figure out when that unfortunate phenomenon became acceptable)! This could NOT be further from it! The plusses: server was great, despite our table of ten; well packaged leftovers; dessert - a very large (with an equally large price tag) slice of cheesecake; nice decor, despite its cookie-cutter-corporate vibe. The minuses: Size.....cavernous, double decker dining room, that sucked away any sense of intimacy. Not unlike the atmosphere in a Bavarian beer hall; the food vs the PRICES! I ordered three of the same appetizers for the ten of us to share, (bland, tepid, and tasteless garlic/pepperoni bread) but they were left barely touched. No surprise there. Geeesh, did I mention THE PRICES?? Food was truly Olive Garden quality, at top-tier prices. The two-for-one gimmick hardly justifies them. Did I mention THE PRICES??? $9.50 for a 6oz pour of Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay (liquor store basic) and $14.00 for 9oz! Yikes!! I had a separate check, and my tab (three appetizers, two glasses of wine, entrée, dessert, and 20% tip) was upwards on 100 bucks! I would never, ever....EVER consider this for a good, relaxing meal, outside of a family birthday dinner.

Our waitress, Tina was outstanding. She took great care of us and paid close attention to my mother’s allergies. The chef even came out to meet us and let us know that she was also made aware of my mom’s allergies and even brought a small sample of her favorite appetizer, fried zucchini (which was delicious btw). All of our food and drinks were absolutely amazing and we will definitely be returning. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful evening!

The food was great and so was the service! Our wait wasn’t long and our waiter was was exceptional! It was my Birthday and my cousin first time there and I enjoyed my day they made it special for the both of us!

Kathy Mercedes Hidalgo
I invited a good friend to lunch in celebration of her b-day. I got there a little early to set up the table with the flowers I got her. Our server was fantastic and so was the food. Thank You to all that helped make this occasion a memorable one. Just one suggestion.... have a little cake available for b-days. Thanks.

It was terrible , The Chicken parmesan was flat and burnt , a shoe bottom would taste better such a high price and terrible food the Waite staff was very good but years ago this was the place to go now save you money or go next Door to PF Chan ! I should have guessed it was empty for a Friday night
Maggie Carpentier Brieske
Excellent meal, Linguine with clams, white wine sauce with garlic and a delicious Italian side salad!
Jeff Smith
was just passing through and had one of the best Italian meals I've ever had. Serving size and price are more than reasonable, definitely box to go. Malik was our waiter he was absolutely amazing and helpful. Give that man a raise, he is a definite asset to your establishment. Wished we lived closer and able to visit more often.
